Does roast with beef, batter and timing advice for chef? (4-6,4)
I believe the answer is:
best-before date
'timing advice for chef?' is the definition.
'does roast with beef batter' is the wordplay.
'roast with' indicates anagramming the letters (instruction to cook the letters).
'beef'+'batter'='beefbatter'
'does' anagrammed with 'beefbatter' makes 'BEST-BEFORE DATE'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Another definition for best-before date that I've seen is " Food freshness indicator".)
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
